FUR HANGER LOOP Fi led May 27, 1931 INVENTOR BY A855 WITNESS:

ATTORNE" Patented Dec. 15, 1931 UNITED STATES ALBERT NOVAK, or Yonx, N, Y."

runmnennnoor Application filed May 27,

This invention relates to means by which a fur neckpiece may be hung up.

An object of the invention is the provision of means, preferably in the form of a loop, by which a fur neckpiece maybe hung up, part of said means forming a pintle for the clamping jaws usually associated with a fur neckpiece.

Another object is the provision of means i for the purpose mentioned which may be held in a set position by the usual spring employed in clamping jaws.

Other objects will be apparent from a reading of the following specification.

The invention will be fully and comprehensively understood from a consideration of the following detailed description when read in connection with the accompanying drawings which form part of the application, with the understanding, however, that the improvement is ca able of extended application and is not conned to the exact showing of the drawings nor to the precise construction described and, therefore, such changes and modifications may be made therefrom as do not affect the spirit of the invention nor exceed the scope thereof as expressed in the appended claims.

In the drawings:

Fig. 1 is a fragmentary side elevation of a fur neckpiece including an animal snout covered with fur, to which snout is attached means for clamping the head end of the fur neckpiece to another part of the same, the 35 clamping means being provided with a loop by which the neckpiece is hung on a hook extending from a wall. V

Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the clamping aws and the loop associated therewith by which the fur neckpiece may be hung up.

Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken on line 33 of Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrows; and

Fig. 4 is a view showing means for attaching a rear leg of the neckpiece to the head end to make a loop of the neckpiece.

Referring to the drawings for a more detailed description thereof, the numerals 7 and 8 indicate a pair ofcoacting jaws, the former being covered with a fabric 9. The

Aispring 17 is coiled around the mentioned portion 16 of the loop 12 and includes straight endportions '18, one of which presses out- 60' wardly against a backward extension 8arof the-j aw .8 and the other of which presses out-. wardly. against a backward extension 7a of the jaw 7 to urge the mentioned jaws into clamping relation. The pressure exerted by the straight end portions 18 against the mentioned extensions, urges the same apart, and therefore urges apart the mentioned ears so that said ears exert a binding action on the pintle-forming section-or part 16 of the loophl2, whereby. the mentioned loop isfrictionally'held in a set position or, inother words,.is prevented from swinging freely, requiring a,s1ight'pressure to move it into a desired position. The fact that the loop is prevented from swingingfreely is an advantage,as otherwise it would swing into a posi. tion at right angles to the jaws and thereby become noticeable, which condition is not desirable. lVhen the loop is not used to hang upthe fur piece it is preferably set in a position substantially parallel to the men-v tioned jaws. The jaw 8, which is shown in dotted lines" in Fig. 1,.is attached in any suitable manner to an artificial animal snout which is covered, together with the jaw 8, by fur. The neckpiece is hung up by hanging the loop 12 on a hook 20 screwed into a wall 21. r

Fig. 4 shows means for detachably connecting a rear legof the animal neckpiece to thehead end in order to loop the neckpiece, said means comprising a ball 26 attached to a cord or link 27 which is secured to the rear leg '25. The ball is passed through the triangular loop 12 which, as previously stated, is frictionally held so that it will remain in a set position, it being evident that, While the ball is small enough to pass through 4 the lower and Wider portion of the triangular loop, it is too large to pass through the upper portion and the ball therefore serves as means for holding the rear leg to the head end of the neckpiece.

What is claimed as new is:

1. In combination, a fur neckpiece, clamping aws carried thereby and means by which the neckpiece may be hung up, part of said means forming a pintle on which said jaws are pivoted, said means comprising a loop.

2. In combination, a fur neck iece including an animal snout, clamping aws carried by said snout and means by which the neckplece may be hung up, part of said means forming a pintle on which said jaws are piv-' oted, said means comprising a loop.

3. In combination, a fur neck iece, clam ing jaws carried thereby, means which t e neckpiece may be hun up, part0 said means forming a pintle on w 'ch said jaws are ivoted and a spring for urging the jaws into clamping relation, the jaws including extensions urged apart by the spring to exert a binding action on the pintle whereby the mentioned means is held in a set position.

4. In combination, a fur neckplece including an animal snout, clamping jaws carried by said snout, means by which the neckpiece may be hung up, part of said means forming a pintle on which said jaws are pivoted, and a spring for urging the jaws into clamping relation, the jaws including extensions ur ed apart by the spring to exert a bindin action on the intle whereby the mentione means is held in a set position.

5. An animal fur neckpiece including a rear leg, a loop secured to the head portion of the neckpiece,'and means for detachably securing the rear leg to the loop, clamping jaws secured to the head end of the neck piece, part of the mentioned loop forming a p'intle for the jaws, extensions on the jaws, a spring urging the extensions apart whereby a binding action is exerted on the pintle to hold the loop in a set position, said means comprising a ball linked to the rear leg.

In testimony whereof I hereby aifix my signature.

ALBERT NOVAK.
